4. Use melted butter so you have a sauce.

5. Gently spoon the garlic butter over the meat of the crab legs.

6. Reserve additional butter for serving after grilling crab legs.

7. Place the split crab legs on the grill, shell-side down.

8. Close the lid and grill for approximately 10 minutes or until the crab is cooked through.

Notes:

• Make sure to reserve additional garlic butter after spooning it onto the crab meat so you have extra to serve the grilled king crab legs with when they’re done grilling. It is just so flavorful!

• I love to grill crab legs along with beef for a surf and turf pairing. My favorite choice has to be either Grilled Beef Short Ribs or Portuguese Beef Skewers!
